Features Color Dome Camera with integrated variable-focal-length lens and camera. Backlight compensation function provided. Enables improvement of video image shot with backlit conditions. Employment of TTL automatic tracking white balance allows use under various light source conditions. One-push auto white balance (AWC) function.

Safety Precautions ● If a high-intensity object (such as a lamp) is shot, the image on the screen may have vertical lines (smear) or blur (blooming) at its periphery. This is a characteristic of the CCD, and is not a defect. ● Resolution decreases as the digital zoom ratio is increased. ● Do not touch the dome cover of the lens directly with your hand, contamination of this cover will lead to a deterioration of the picture quality. ● Observe the following when carrying out camera maintenance.

7 DIP switch Video synchronization selector switch Switches the synchronization method of the camera image. INT: Internal synchronization L/L: The camera’s vertical synchronization is matched with the frequency of the AC 24 V line power supply. When switching between multiple cameras using a switcher, selecting the LL mode and adjusting the vertical phase can reduce the monitor sync disturbances occurring when the camera image is switched.
